India: Congregational Prayers

Mubashir Hassan

Kashmiri Muslims offer prayers outside the shrine of Sufi Saint Naqashband Sahib in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir. Hundreds of people offered afternoon prayers and Khwaja Digar prayers, which is a centuries-old practice of Kashmiri Muslims offering congregational prayers every year at the revered shrine of Hazrat Khawja Naqashband in downtown Srinagar.
